Instrumentation - ✔✔In order to operate your vehicle safely, you must know the functions
and locations of all the interior mechanisms of your car.
The instrument panel contains the following gauges:
a Speedometer, which indicates speed in both miles and kilometers per hour.
a Tachometer, which indicates the engine rotation in revolutions per minute (RPMs).
an Odometer, which indicates the total number of miles your car has been driven since it was
manufactured.
a Fuel gauge, which shows the fuel level in your car's fuel tank.
an Oil gauge, which shows oil level.
Instrumentation - Warning Lights - ✔✔Warning lights are provided on your car's instrument
panel. They light up in case of a serious problem. There are three kinds of warning lights:
, Oil Pressure Warning Light
Temperature Warning Light
Battery Low Warning Light
Temperature Warning Light/Gauge: This light activates when the engine temperature or the
radiator's coolant is too hot. In some vehicles, a needle gauge indicates the temperature rising
in the warning zone of HOT.
If this warning light goes on while you are driving, STOP as soon as possible at a safe place and
shut the engine off.
NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP TO CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT.
The coolant is at boiling temperature and under pressure. If the cap is released, the hot coolant
will release with pressure and can cause severe burns if you are standing too close.
Oil Pressure Warning Light: This light goes on when the engine oil is not circulating at the
required pressure. Some vehicles have an oil pressure gauge that reads LOW when the engine's
oil pressure drops. If you see an oil pressure warning while driving, STOP immediately at a safe
place and turn off the engine.
Battery Low Warning Light: When this light goes on or the battery gauge reads LOW, the power
needed for your car starter is limited.
Steering Wheel - ✔✔The steering wheel is located directly in front of the driver's seat.
Turning the steering wheel transmits force, which turns the wheels to determine the direction
of travel. Whichever way you turn the steering wheel, left or right, is the direction your car will
travel.
Most vehicles today have power steering that makes turning the wheel relatively easy. If you
have power steering and find it necessary to exert a lot of physical force to turn your wheel,
you should probably take your car to a mechanic.
